The Republicans ot the United Slates,
Msembled by their delegates in National
convention, pause on the theshold of their
proceedings to honor the memory of their
first great leader, the immortal champion
of liberty and the rights of the people
Abraham Lincoln; anil to cover also
with wreaths of imperishable remembrance
and gratitude tho heroic names of later
leader), who have moie recently been
called away from our councils Grant,
Garfield, Arthur, Logan and Conkling.
May tholr memories be faithfully cher-
shed.
We also recall with our greetings and
with prayer for his recovery the name ol
one of our living heroes whoso memory
will be treasured in the history both of
North. Republicans and of the Republic the
name of that noble soldier and favorite
son of victory, Philip H Sheiidan.
In the soirit of those gre.it leaders, and
of our own devotion to human liberty, and
with that hostility to all forms of despot
ism and oppression which is the funda
mental idea of tho Republican party, we
send fraternal congratulations to our fel
low Americans of Drazil upon their great
act of emancipation, which completed the
abolition of slavery throughout the two
American continents. We earnestly hope
that we may soon congratulate Our fellow
citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful
recovery of home rule for Ireland.
We allirm our unswerving devotion to
the Natfonal Constitution and to the in.
dissoluble Union ef the states : to the au
tonomy reserved the slates under the Con
stitution : to the personat rights and liber
ties of citizens in all the Stales and Terri
tories In the Union, and especially to
tho supreme and sovereign right of
Ar. I B:l.Tp. m. every lawlul citizen, rich or poor,
Li- llySjPi-"1, nativo or foreign born, white or black, to
(nAii.Y cast one free ballot 11. public elections,
and to have that ballot duly counted. We
hold the free and honest popular ballot,
and the just and equal representation of
all the people, to be the lounuaiton ot our
republican gdvernment, and demand ef
fective legislation to securx the Integrity
and purity cf elections, vw.icli are the
fountains of all public authority. We
charge that the present administration
and the Democratic majority in Congress
owe their existence to the suppression ol
the ballot by a criminal nullification of the
Constitution and laws of the. United
States.
Wo are uncompromisingly in favor ol
the American system of protection. We
protest against its destruction propnsud
by tho president and his party. They
serve the inteiests of Kuiope; we will
support tho interests of America. We ac
cept tho issues and confidently appeal in
the people for their judgment. The pr.
tectivo system must be maintained. Its
abandonment has always been followed
by general disaster to all interests, except
those of the usurer and tho sheriff". We
denounce the Mills bill an destructive to
Iho genoral business, the labur aiul the
farming interests of tin. country, and ue
heartily endorso the consistent nnd
patriotic actions of the Republican Rep
resentatives 111 Congress in opposing ii
passage.
We condemn the proposition of the
Democratic party to pli'ce wool on the free
list, and we insist that the duties thereon
shall be adjusted and maintained so as to
furnish full and adequate protection to
that industry.
The Republican party would effect a'l
neoded reduction of the National levenue
by repealing the taxes on tobacco, whieli
are an annoyance and burdc 11 to agriculture,
and the tax upon apirus ucd in the arU
nnd for mechanical purposes; and by such
revision of tho tariff .is will lend to check
imports of such articles as are produced b)
our people, the production of which gives,
employment to our lih-ir, nnd release from
import duties those articles of toreign pro-
duotiou (except luxuries) the like of which
can not bo produced at home. If tbeie
shall still remain a largei levei.ue that id
requisite for the wants ot tho government
we favor the entire repeal of intorinl
taxes rather than the snrr.nder of
nny part of our protective tem at
tho joint behest of the vvlinky trusts nnd
the agents of foreign manufacturers.
We declare our hostiln to the introduc
tion into tins country of foreign contract
labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our
civilization aud our Constitution, nnd we
demand the rigid enforcement of tiie ex
isting laws against it, nnd favor such im
mediate legislation us will exclude suih
labor from our shines.
We declaro our opposition to nil combin
ations of capital organized in tiusiaorutNi
wise, to control aibitranly the condiiiuii
of trade among our citizen, ami wu com
mend to Congress ami to iho Stntc Lcyi-
attires, 111 their repictie jiiridiotntis
such legislation as will prevent the execu
tion of all schemes toopnicM the pe m- m

tween the State.
We reaffirm the policy of appropriating
the public lands of the United States to be
homesteadb for American citizens nnd set
tlers, not aliens, which the Rrpublicin
pariy established in 1862, against the
persistent opposition of the Democrats m
Congress, and which has brought our great
Western domain into such magnificent
development. The restoration of unearn
ed land grants to the public dnmam for
the use of actual settlers, which was begun
under the administration of President Ar
thur, should be continued. We deny that
the democratic party has ever restorr-d one
aero to the people, but declare that by the
joint action of republicans and democrats,
about fifty millions Of acres or unearned
lands originally granted for the construe
tion of railroads have been restored to the
public domain, in pursuance of tho conHi
ttons inserted by the republican parly in
the original grants. Wo charge the dem
ocratic ndministiation with failure to exe
cute the laws securing to settlers titles to
their homesteads, and 'with using appro
nations made for that purpose to harass
innocent settlers with spies and prosecu
tions under false pretence of exposing
frauds and vindicating the law.
The government by Congress of the
Territories is based upon necessity only,
to (lie end that they may become States
in the Union; therefore .whenever the con
ditions of population, material resources,
public intelligence and morally are such
as to secure a stable lecal government
therein, the people of such Territories
should be permitted, as a rir,ht inherent ir
them, to form for themselves a constitution
and State government, and be admitted
into the Union. Pending the prepara
tion for Statehood, all officers 'hereof
should be selected from the bona fide
residents and citizens ot the Territory
wherein they are toserve. bouth Dakota
should of right be immediately admitted
as a Statu in the Union, under the con
stitution framed and adopted by the
people, and we heartily indorse the action
of the Republican Senate in twice
passing bills for her admission. The
relusal of the Democratic House of
Representatives, for partisan purposes, to
favorably consider tbete hills, s a willful
violation of the sacred American principle
oflocal self-government, aud merits the
condemnation of all just men. The
pending bills in the Senate for acts to
enable tho people of Washington, North
Dakota and Montana Territories to form
constitutions should be'pascd without
unnecessary delay. The rpulilie-in part)
pledges itself to do all lit its power to fa
cilitate the admission of the territories of
New Mexico, Wvomiug, Idaho and An
zona to the tnjoymeut of self government
as states, such of them as ?ie now quali-
lied, as booh as possible, and the others as
soon as they may become so.
Tho political power of the Mormon
church in the territories, as exicrieticed tn
tho past, is a menace to free institutions
too dangerous to be long suffered. Tlieie
fore we pledge the republican party to ap
propriate legislation averting the mvei
eighty of the na'ion in all lerntnnes
where the same is questioned, ainl 111
furtherance of that end to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough
to divorce the political from tho ecclesias
tical power, and thus stamp out the
attendant wickedness of il)gauiy.
Tho republican parly is in favr of the
use of both gold and silver ni money, and
couduinus tiie policy of the democratic
administration in its -lTrts tu demonetize
Silver.
We demand the reduction of letter
postage to I cent per ounce.

well as for tho payment of the maturing
public debt. This policy will give em
olovinent to our labor, activity to our va
rious industries, iUcrease the security of
our country, promote trade, open new
and direct markets for our produce, and
cheapen the cost of transportation. We
affirm this to be far better for bur country
than the democratic policy of loaning the
government money without interest to
"pet banks."
The conduct of foreign affairs by the
present administration has been distin
guished by its lnelHciericy and its coward
ice. Having withdrawn from the Senate
all pending treaties effected by republican
administration for the removal of foreign
burdens and restrictions upon our com
merce and for its extension into better
markets, it has neither eflected nOr pro
posed auy others in their stead. Profess
ing adherence to the Muuroo doctrine, it
has seen with idle complacency the exten
sion of fnieign ilitlueuce in Central
America, aud of foreign trade everywhere
ainoug our neighbors, it has refused to
charter, sanction or encourago ally Amer
ican organization for constructing the
Nicaragua canal, a work ot vital, import
ance to the maintenance of ihe Monroe
doctrine, and of our national Influence in
Central and South America, and neces
sary for the development ol trade with
our Pacific territory, with South America
and with tho islands and further coasts of
the Pacific Ocean.
We arraign the present democratic ad
ministration for its weak and unpatriotic
treatment of the fisheries question, and
its pusillanimous surrender of the 'essen
tial privileges to which our fishing vessels
are entitled 111 Canadian ports under the
treaty of 181S, the reciprocal maritime
legislation of I830, and the comity of
nations, and which Canadian fishing ves
sels receive in ihe ports of tho United
States. We condemn the policy of Ihe
piesent administration and the democratic
majority iu Congress trltvard 'our fisheries
as unfriendly and conspicuously unpatri
otic, and as tending to destfoy'a valuable
national industry, and an indispensable
resource of del-use against a foreign'
enemy.
The name of America applies alike to
all citizens of the republic, and imposes
upon all alike the same obligations of
obedience to the laws. At the same time
that citizenship is and must be tile1 pan
oply and safeguard of him who wears it,
and protect bun, whether high or low,
rich or poar, in his civil rights, It should
ano inu-it afford liim protection at home,
and follow and pio ect him abroad in
whatever land lie may be on a lawful
errand.
Ihe men who n-vi'dmied the republican
paityin 1SS4. ami continue to adhere to
the democratic party, have deserted not
only the cuue of honest government, of
ound finances, of lie doin and purity of,
the ballot, but espi-cially have deserted
the caiimi if n bum in the civil service.
We will lint tail to keep our pledges be-c.iu-.e
they have luokeii theirs', or because
(heir candidate has broken his. We,
theiefore, repeat our declaration of 1884,
to wri; ''The reform of the civil service,
auspiciously begun under the republican
administration' should be completed by
the further exten-1011 of the reform system
already established by law, to all the
grades of the service to which it is applic
able, Tiie spiiu and purpose of the re
form should la observed in all executive
appointment, a.nj nil laws at variance
wiili the obp'Ct of existing reform legisla
tion should be repealed, to the end that
ihe danger to fret institutions which lurks
in the power of mcial patronage may be
widely and effectively avoided."
The gratitude of the nation to the de
fenders of the union cau not be measured
by laws. Ihe legislation of Congress
should conform to the pledges made by a
loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex
tended as to provide against the oossibility
that any man who honorably wore ihe
federal uniform shall become the inmate
of an almshouse, or dependent upon
private chanty. Iu the presence of an
overfl iwiiig ireaturv it would be a publto
scandal to do less for those whose valor
oils service preserved the government.
We denounce the hostile spirit shown by
IVsidem Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and
the action of the democratic house of
it proentative-, in refusing even a consid
er ni ion ol general pension legislation.
Iu support of the principles herewith
enunciiied we invite the co-operation of
patrio'ic mtn if all patties, and especially
nl all workingmen whose prosperity is
seriously thicattned by the free trade
.o icy of the present administration.
